I do a lot of business on the nearby barrier islands of Anna Maria and Longboat Key.

However, I offered to accept an alteration for 9 nights (2 nights fewer than original booking), which would have been roughly 50% refund.Message between me (M) and guest (G): - G: shares Airbnb's cancellation policy after check-in: a 50% refund of every night that remains 24 hours after you cancel.

You'll learn a lot with fewer variables than a short-term investment.

Looking on AirBnB, $1150 for a tiny place was the absolute cheapest comp I could find nearby, and the next was around $1250/month (after Air BnB fees).

I'm building an ADU here at my primary and would consider another SFH nearby if I could find the right deal.

Quite a steal and they get snatched up pretty quickly but if you crunch the numbers, even with the high interest rate you get pretty close to cutting even on your rent (after you allocate X amount to unforeseen property costs)@Jimmy Jarjour:Hi Jimmy,Are the properties in San Francisco or nearby cities?

We drove through NC yesterday along highway 77, so many trees down, lineman everywhere, and a heavy feeling that something major had just happened nearby.

I also rented nearby and could be at the property frequently. 

Only nearby city that rivals it is Amarillo (2.5hr drive north) and it does not have anywhere near the education infrastructure or $$$ inflow Lubbock has (at least not yet) with Texas Tech and associated schools, SPCC, LCU.

Without knowing the cap rates of other MFHs nearby, there's not much objective insight to be gained there.Good luck!
